Vibration Measurement & Consulting

When vibrations cause conflicts, we’re the team you can count on.

Whether it’s the energy of a train or the rattle of an air conditioning unit, vibration from transport, equipment or facility operations can be an annoyance.

Vibrations can hinder quality of life, stall development plans and cause costly structural and environmental damage over time.

We collaborate with building owners, occupants, engineers, developers to quickly resolve complaints and mitigate issues before they arise.

Why work with Patching Associates?

We’re a large and specialized team with the people, tools and technology it takes to quickly and accurately quantify vibration sources, qualify human perception and propose practical solutions.

For over two decades, we’ve successfully collaborated with stakeholders of different perspectives and disciplines, working together to find actionable answers that both solve the immediate issue and mitigate the risk of conflicts in the future.

Diagnostics

Road, rail and equipment vibrations can damage community relations, structures and the environment. We conduct detailed and reliable assessments of both ground and air-induced vibration.

Human Perception

People react to vibration in ways very different from sound. Whether vibration is constant, infrequent or the underlying cause of an issue, we quantify relevant sources, qualitatively assess impacts and collaborate with clients to resolve and mitigate complaints.
